API problems with modulecreate

[infomike]

Hi There,

 

I'm attempting to integrate WHMCS with my current order system mainly so that I dont have to manually put all the clients' address details.

 

I am just trying to setup a hosting account on a cpanel server - the system can:

 

1. Create a new client

2. Create order for that client.

 

I then try and run a modulecreate command with the following

 

$postfields["username"] = $username;

$postfields["password"] = md5($password);

$postfields["action"] = "modulecreate";

$postfields["accountid"] = $userID;

 

I unfortunately get an error:

 

The following error occured: Sorry, a group for that username already exists.

 

Alternatively when i go to the products/services screen in WHMCS it's created the client and order and has the domain name, I click create and it automagically creates a username/password and passes it to cpanel. From my script it does not seem to autogenerate a user/pass

 

Am I missing something obvious?

 

Thanks

 

Mike
